Sure, it's valid. That's why it'll be important to manage your affiliates and not let them go nuts. (And boy, they will.) Fortunately, you can go far by having someone look through the referrers and see who is playing games and nuking them.

I'm using it with AIR to create client-side apps. I've enjoyed it so far, it seems very elegant, but can be a bit tricky to learn.

If you mean "step down" as in leaving your current employ, the critical question is this: How many months savings do you have? And if you have at least a year's saving, what is the revenue model and how quickly can you get to the point wher

Great concept, I hope it grows teeth. I'm curious if they are going to allow general web applications to draw data continually.

There are many parallels between Bezos and Jobs. Like you mentioned, Bezos is great at both macro- and micro-perspectives of his business. Amazon didn't win because they were one of the first out of the gate, it's because Bezos has been obs
